Being a Red Witch has its perks but when the Gods are trying to kill you and all of mankind, that means war.

Triumph of Chaos picks up approximately two months after the events of Gods of Chaos, the second book in the series. Darlena is trying to find out a way to defeat Hecate and protect humanity from complete extinction. Characters we already knew, appear again, new alliances form, old ones are broken and the stakes are higher than ever.

Apart from Darlena, one character that was introduced in the second book, was Izzy from Scotland. She’s essential to the story and she helps Darlena become the witch she’s destined to become. On the other hand, Darlena is a complicated heroine. She’s brave for standing up against the Gods but she can also be impulsive and sometimes a bad judge of character and that’s what I believe makes her more original and unique.

The book was well written and although the pace was a little slow, in the end I didn’t mind at all. The plot was full of surprises and twists. I still have a few unanswered questions and I hope that the author would consider writing a novella.

Jen McConnel created a fascinated world inspired by the Greek, Celtic and Egyptian mythology and made it one of my favorite YA series! I definitely recommend the Red Magic series to YA readers, especially those who love mythology!
